How about parents who let their kids listen to this crap and not at least insist they don’t play it in the home. I tell my kids at every opportunity that this is crap and it will rot your brain. They actually listen to me.
Parents have given up any responsibility for raising their kids. That’s where the blame lies for most of what is wrong in this country. PARENTS.

Maybe because “rap” isn’t actually music?

How much would these guys be worth if there were no food stamps and welfare pouring in to the “hood?”

I LOVE Frank Sinatra....and I was lucky enough to see him in person from third row center at the Chicago Theater when he was just starting out.

Yep, everything you've read is correct, the astonishing skininess, the bow tie hanging from a too-big collar, the squealing teenie girls, the great voice emanating from such a thin frame.

Just LISTENING to him today is the perfect way for me to concentrate on the voice.....and to appreciate his natural talent and melodious style.

What an almost-perfect singing voice for the marvelous songs written during the decades of his era....."Begin the Beguine"....."Stardust"....."Chicago (That Toddlin' Town)"....."Blue Moon"....."It Had To Be You".....and my favorite, "Yours is My Heart Alone".

I hardly know the names of today's singers and rappers, and the ones I know about I wouldn't pay two cents to hear them or see them "entertain" in a "concert".

My favorite word in the title is “Artists”. Thuggery set to rhyme is now raised to an art form. We are doomed.
